In anticipation of the expected overnight snowfall, some Pioneer Valley communities have begun enacting parking bans to aid with plowing and snow removal.

The National Weather Service on Tuesday afternoon issued a winter weather advisory for much of Western Massachusetts and parts of Worcester County. Snow is expected to begin late Tuesday night and last into Wednesday afternoon. As much as 3 to 5 inches of accumulation is expected. Areas south of the Massachusetts Turnpike could see the snow turn to rain.
